encrypt/decrypt a single byte returning the result.

process a block of bytes from in putting the result into out.

Params:
  • in – the input byte array.
  • inOff – the offset into the in array where the data to be processed starts.
  • len – the number of bytes to be processed.
  • out – the output buffer the processed bytes go into.
  • outOff – the offset into the output byte array the processed data starts at.
Throws:
Returns:the number of bytes produced - should always be len.
